Lord Hampton said that they were straining every nerve to get together a big contingent of boys. Lord Hampton added that Mr J. S. Wilson, Camp Chief at Gilwell, the English headquarters of the Scouting movement, was looking forward to representing the Chief Scout, Lord Baden-Powell. at the New Zealand jamboree.
